"The Procrastinator's Hereafter. Take a friend's advice: Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today--Answer that letter." Sign: "Bottomless Pit Drop In."
Pity the poor procrastinator who doesn't answer his letters! This pathetic fellow obviously failed to keep up with his correspondence while he was alive, and now in the "hereafter" the devil is looking over his shoulder to make sure he responds on time--and for all time!
In order to avoid falling into the fiery "Bottomless Pit" below, the procrastinator is precariously perched on an endless roll of paper as he scribbles out his message. The last few lines he's written on the paper suggest that he's trying to explain away his current predicament: "...in my new home. Although everything is up to sample, I'm not stuck on the place but circumstances over which I have no control impel me to stick...."
Reverse of postcard:
Postmarked: "Hartford, Conn., Aug. 25, 1912."
Addressed to: "Mr. W. J. Ross, 131 River St., N. Adams, Mass."
Handwritten message: "Dear Will: What do you think of this for a card? I don't hear from Flora very often. I'm working and not having much fun either--just existing. Not as tired as when I came here. Hastily, Cora."

Proverbs 5:22-23 NIV
The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them; the cords of their sins hold them fast.
For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly.

"The world turned upside down" depicts life in a typical village it is an illustration of the folly of mankind. I have put a note on a few of the nearly 100 proverbs that are known to be depicted in this complex work. Some do not translate exactly, but one can get an idea of what's going on. It strikes me that very little has changed in four hundred years. This is a copy by Brueghel the younger of his father's work which was in Berlin.Netherlandish Proverbs (also called The Blue Cloak or The Topsy Turvy World) is a 1559 oil-on-oak-panel painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder which depicts a land populated with literal renditions of Flemish proverbs of the day. The picture is overflowing with references and most of the representations can still be identified; while many of the proverbs have either been forgotten or never made the transition to the English language, some are still in use. Proverbs were popular during Bruegel's time: a number of collections were published including a famous work by Erasmus. Frans Hogenberg had produced an engraving illustrating about 40 proverbs in around 1558 and Bruegel himself had painted a collection of Twelve Proverbs on individual panels by 1558 and had also produced Big Fish Eat Little Fish in 1556, but Netherlandish Proverbs is thought to be the first large scale painting on the theme. Rabelais depicted a land of proverbs in his novel Pantagruel soon after in 1564.
Bruegel's paintings have themes of the absurdity, wickedness and foolishness of mankind, and this painting is no exception. The picture was originally entitled The Blue Cloak or The Folly of the World which indicates he was not intending to produce a mere collection of proverbs but rather a study of human stupidity. Many of the people depicted show the characteristic blank features which Bruegel used to portray fools. His son, Pieter Brueghel the Younger, specialised in making copies of his father's work, and painted up to twenty copies of Netherlandish Proverbs. Not all versions of the painting, by father or son, show exactly the same proverbs, also differing in other details.

Proverbs 14:30 A heart at peace
gives life to the body.
My dear flickr friends I have made my
final decision today and next week
Thursday Aug. 27th.. I will be going to
Cancer Treatment Centers of America
in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This was going
to be my third opinion, and that
decision was made this morning.
With the things that have happened
this past week, I believe this is God's
direction for me to go here.
Talking with several people from the
center today, I felt the reassurance
that I needed was evidence enough
for me. My sister Karen, Patti and
another friend will be leaving on
Tuesday for the trip. They said they
have computers down at the center
so hopefully I will continue to write
to you all. Even post photos from
Tulsa...how cools that!
Please keep the Drs, my family, and
I in your prayers. Blessings to you
all, Love Diana
Hebrews 6:18-19
Concepts for series on Proverbs. We were asked for a photo with text on it, and maybe some kind of effect. There are several directions we could take. Will be used for the standard mix of uses: onscreen, in print and online.
Audience: We're a downtown church of about 1200 each Sunday. Wide mix of demographics.
Thoughts?
